Second Call for Proposals in the
field of Energy
CONCERTO
Information Day
The aim of the event is to
explain the CONCERTO Initiative, to give a detailed overview of the call
for proposals 2008, and to offer potential proposers an opportunity to meet,
find new partners and discuss. The present call has to be considered as
part of the overall CONCERTO initiative that is already supporting 46
communities in line with the RTD Framework Programme. Successful proposals will benefit from a high level of
exposure resulting from being part of the well known and established
CONCERTO brand image. The Commission will explain the required science
and technological excellence content of the projects, the political context, and address in particular the following points:
-
lessons learned in the
past, typical problems encountered by past proposers and running
projects
-
new or different
requirements as compared to the past calls for proposals
-
how to address the
multinational characters of proposals (International cooperation).
-
Ideal consortia
composition, contractual and legal issues, consortia agreement, etc.
-
How to differentiate
between the required innovative character and (non-eligible) subsidy
for construction
-
Clear definitions of
what is innovation, excellence and systems integration
-
The Building energy
specification sheets and Community data sheets (BEST and CDS) will
be presented and explained
-
The minimum
requirements of 30% better than national legislation will be
explained in details
-
Eligible costs, ideal
budget distributions, how much demonstration, how much research, how
much dissemination
-
Ideal cooperation
between all CONCERTO communities and cities; CONCERTO PLUS, its
tasks and services will be presented; common dissemination,
standardised data collection and technical monitoring will be
presented
The key target audience of
the CONCERTO Initiative are local and regional authorities (and their
representatives), utilities, energy service providers, energy agencies,
technology providers, energy research and analysis teams, socio-economists
and energy users; they are particularly invited to attend this
information day. Participation by communities in the new Member States
is particularly encouraged.
